Comac has collected a new order for 30 C919s from China Merchants Bank, the company announced at Airshow China in Zhuhai on Tuesday. In a statement released to wire services, Comac claims now to have collected orders for 430 of the new narrowbodies from 17 companies, primarily from China. One U.S.-based leasing company—GE Capital Aviation Services--signed an MOU for 10 of the 156- to 168-seat airplanes at the 2010 Zhuhai show. Two years later, at the same show, it ordered another 10.
